    Summary

    Natalie and Richie have gone home, but Carmy and Sydney are still here. The restaurant is quiet again. Almost too quiet for her liking.

    The clock on the wall reads 1:27. It's late. They should both be home. But Sydney doesn't have the energy to move.

    A part of her still hopes she's having another nightmare. That she'll wake up soon, and find that the updated agreement was nothing but a cruel invention of her subconscious.

    But this isn’t a dream. She knows because she can feel the exhaustion from all the crying, and her mouth still tastes like the cigarette she tried to smoke earlier that night.

    ______

     

    Carmy and Sydney continue their conversation right after the season finale

    Summary

    Don’t go, don’t you dare go.

    Look after the brats for me.

    They were standing on the precipice of a battle none of them wanted. Eddie glanced out of the window at the selfless gang who had welcomed him in. His soulmate, his friends, the kids he felt responsible for. And he realised that this might very well be the end. This could be where he said his last words. This could be where he died.

    // au where everyone has the last words their soulmate will say to them written on their wrist.

    Summary

    “I know you think I’m alluring and irresistible, Steve, but I am familiar with not being the guy all the folks wanna dance with,” Eddie confesses.

    “Who gives a fuck what the other people in Hawkins think? They wouldn’t recognize something amazing if it punched them in the face.” Steve takes a long drag, taking his time to slowly blow out the smoke.

    Summary

    He huffs, lips quivering at the words spewing out of this thing’s mouth. Eddie gulps, forcing himself to look Vecna in the eyes. If he willed himself to stay behind and die for a town filled with people that wanted him dead, then he could face the monster that caused all of this in the first place.

    “Are you him?” Eddie grunts through gritted teeth, red glistening on white.

    Vecna tilts his head, taking two worrying steps forward, just a few feet from the man held captive. “I could ask you the same thing.”

    Vecna gives Eddie another chance. That chance is laced with the sweet temptation of revenge.

    Summary

    "Steve 'the Hair' Harrington, a rage-filled barbarian, who knew?" Eddie says, like its a compliment, like Steve has ANY idea what that means.

    "Uh, I knew. Obviously." Steve says, wisely, even though he clearly didn't. "Anyway, do you think we could eat a demobat? Or would we turn into some kind of monstrous freak? I'm starving, and Dustin's cheese crackers are not enough to get me on my feet again."

    "What difference does it make to me if I'm a human freak or a monster one?" Eddie shrugs, and Steve butts his shoulder up against Eddie. It's meant to be brotherly, maybe friendly, but it's too soft. Felt like something he might have done before slinging an arm around a girl's shoulders.

    "You're not a freak." Steve says, and finds he means it.

    Eddie's eyes, when he looks at Steve, are curious. "No?"

    "No."
